METAL ROOFS

 

 

Metal roofing is one of the most cost-effective roofing materials on the market today.  It is available in a broad array of styles and colors.  A metal roof’s appearance can mimic slate, shingles, and wood shake roofs.  Of course, it can offer the traditional look of standing seam metal roofing. 

 

Feature Benefit
Limited maintenance roofing product        A metal roof will probably be the last roof you will ever install.  It offers a great-looking  Lifelong alternative to other common roofing materials.   Over the life of your home, metal roofing will probably be the most economical choice when compared to the limited life expectancy, and re-installation and repair costs of traditional roofing materials.
Fire-safe.  UV and hail Resistant High quality roofing products are coated with high performance Kynar 500 or Hylar5000 baked enamel finishes.  These finishes offer outstanding rustproofing, and are warranted against fading for 20 years.  Metal products are fire-safe, and insurance companies may offer discounts on premiums for installed metal roofs.  Metal roofing is a preferred material in hail-prone areas since hail cannot penetrate thematerial.  Certain styles and finishes can minimize the cosmetic imperfections introduced by heavy hail. 
Energy Conscious roofing products Metal reflects up to 70% of the sun’s energy, and may experience 34% less heat gain than composite shingle roofs.  Metal may offer insulation-like effects, similar to an R-11 insulation on top of the roof during sunny periods according to research by Florida Solar Energy center.  Some metal roofing systems incorporate “Ultra-Cool Metal Coating” or similar competing products that further enhance the energy efficiency of the roofing system, saving the homeowner even more money with lower energy costs.
Light Weight Unlike tile roofing, metal roofing materials can typically replace a traditional shingle roof with no additional engineering and structural enhancements required

When upgrading your wood shake or asphalt shingle roof to a low-maintenance lifetime material, metal is a singular value.  The roof does not require upgrades to support the significant extra weight of tile.  Many people believe that a metal roof might be noisy, but his simply is not the case.  Research shows that metal roofing is not any noisier than traditional roofing products when properly installed.
